Essential Parts of a Business Letter
1. Heading
The heading is the return address of the sender. Many companies use letterhead paper which displays their address and the logo; if you do not use letterhead paper, write the sender's address just below the date.
2. Date
Include the date that you have written or sent the letter just below the letterhead, or above the sender's address if you do not have letterhead paper.
3. Inside Address
This is the address that you are sending your letter to; make sure it is written as completely as possible, and includes titles and names if these are known. This is displayed on the left hand margin of the page, and positioned so that it shows through the window in an envelope.
4. Salutation
Begin the letter with a formal greeting, beginning with the word "Dear" and including the recipient's surname. Always use a title for a business letter, unless you are close friends with the recipient. Using Mr. or Ms. along with a last name is a very professional salutation.

What is a speculative letter?
This type of letter is sent to an employer or employment agency, seeking consideration for possible employment opportunities, i.e. positions which are not currently advertised or which do not currently exist. It is vital to incorporate the speculative approach in your job search because
A high percentage of jobs are filled in the unadvertised job market.
Many employers rely on keen students who write to them, of their own initiative, to fill vacancies.
An employer may be impressed with your initiative, experience, and excellent presentation and make efforts to create a position and accommodate your request.
An unexpected job vacancy may arise and your application is already in the employer’s hands .
Some sample paragraphs for speculative letters follow: Example of speculative opening paragraph… Recently I became aware of the new music program at St. John’s School.
